Find your tree
Choose your Christmas tree.
The choose-and-cut field grows Leyland cypress and Arizona cypress. Only the trees wearing a tag are for sale this season, the supply is limited, and the farm typically sells out by November 29, so the first two weekends are the best time to come. Trees are $20 a foot plus tax, and the farm's staff are out in the fields to point you to available trees and answer questions.
The pre-cut tree park is a separate choice: Fraser firs shipped from the mountains of North Carolina in refrigerated trucks, cut only days before the farm opens and kept in water, in a lit and decorated setting. Pre-cut trees start at $20 a foot plus tax.

Choose and cut cypress in the field
Come through the main farm entry, buy an admission ticket for each person and head to the field. Only the pre-tagged trees are for sale, and the tag colors are just for the elves. Saws are provided in the fields, and staff are on hand to direct you to available trees, though no chain saws or axes are allowed. Tree pricing is $20 a foot plus tax.
After you cut, a wagon carries your tree to the processing area at the farm entry, where it is shaken and baled. You pay near The Homestead. Twine is available for tying the tree to your vehicle, but because of liability the staff cannot tie it for you. Field entry ends at 5pm and field access closes at dark for safety.
| Step | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Admission | A ticket for each person at the main entry; admission is required to enter the fields. |
| Choose | Pre-tagged Leyland cypress and Arizona cypress only; limited, and typically sold out by November 29. |

Admission and the tree voucher
A ticket is how you get into the farm and the fields. The farm asks for it to keep out visitors who are not coming for a tree, because parking is limited. Ages 2 and under are free. Each household receives a $10 voucher per ticket bought, up to $50, to apply toward a tree, and the admission fee is not refundable if you decide not to buy one. Ask the farm how the voucher adds up for larger groups, and about its tree sale on the last day, December 20, when the voucher does not apply.
Admission includes access to the farm, visits with Santa, activities, live music, Texas snow and photo spots, and entry to the Christmas tree lot. The farm has a limited number of tickets each day and urges you to buy ahead before driving out.

Pre-cut Fraser fir tree park
The farm's twist on a tree lot is a decorated, lit tree park where you pick your own pre-cut Fraser fir. The trees are shipped from the mountains of North Carolina in refrigerated trucks, cut only days before the farm opens and kept in water. The farm bales your tree and provides twine, and prices start at $20 a foot plus tax. The tree park is open during the farm's operating hours, with the same admission and voucher as the field.
The farm brings in a large supply but notes they sell out fast. The bouquet bar, where you build your own Christmas bouquet, is a separate purchase. Texas snow is on hand in the tree park and along the Snowflake Stroll.
Season days and hours
The farm is open eleven days, from Saturday, November 21 through Sunday, December 20. The first weekend runs 10am to 4pm, and after that Black Friday and Saturdays run 10am to 8pm while Sundays run 10am to 6pm. Entrance to the farm ends one hour before closing, and entry to the choose-and-cut fields ends at 5pm.

The farm, the family and contacts
The family of six moved back to their hometown of Devine and fell in love with a 44-acre peach and blackberry orchard that has since become a Christmas tree farm with seasonal festivals. The fall pumpkin season and the spring flower season are separate and run on their own dates.
Call the farm at (830) 665-9730 with general questions. The contact form on the website also covers Christmas trees, field trips, party reservations and events.
